WATER TOURS

The adventure activity of the moment has to be our white water rafting and hiking
or kayaking experience. Lasting 3 to 4 hours, the thrill of fast moving white water,
grade 3 and 4 rapids, combined with the outstanding beauty of the
Rio Cangrejal and surrounding National Parks, makes this trip an unforgettable
and unique experience.

With the added extras of warm water to fall into and a professionally trained River Guide,
this is one activity run by OMEGA TOURS which is highly recommended.

RAFTING THE UPPER SAN JUAN CLASS IV AND V RAPIDS

EXCEPTIONAL whitewater rafting, through a jungle gorge,
all in warm water - no wetsuits but lots of adrenaline!

The ride from La Ceiba is about an hour, from Tela only 20 min.
In San Juan Pueblo we turn off the main road on a dirt road.
The 4x4 drive is the perfect chance for some excellent bird watching.
We drive as far as the road allows us and here we hire mules
to transport the equipment and a horse for ourselves.

We ride and hike through tropical rainforest, cross a river and several creeks,
hike tracks which are hundreds of years old. This amazing hike takes 1 1\2 hours.
Reaching the put-in we inflate the raft, have lunch, do the safety-talk
and paddle instruction, and immediately starts the action!

The whitewater is outstanding: drops (up to 8 ft!), real long rapids,
through awe-inspiring scenery, in a wild jungle-river gorge. Depending on
the water level and your wishes we portage 2 to 4 times.

The river is great - and really adrenaline inducing. After approx. 4 hours we
reach the putout, or continue to the bridge of San Juan Pueblo.
We take you back to La Ceiba or our beautiful JUNGLELODGE. End of trip.
Highly recommended! Lunch is included! This trip needs to leave early!

RAFTING RIO CANGREJAL TROPICAL ADVENTURE CLASS III TO IV RAPIDS

AN EXCEPTIONAL whitewater rafting experience between giant boulders,
All in warm water - no wetsuits! A mind-blowing riverbed with great views
of the jungle, Right in Pico Bonito National Park.

The OMEGA JUNGLE LODGE is situated by the rafting put-in. In the
welcome shade of the Lodge we begin our ‘pre-rafting’ preparations.
Following a short climb down into the giant riverbed of the
Rio Cangrejal (river of crabs) we make first contact with
the liquid element. By floating through a friendly rapid we
warm up for the following: excellent class III-IV rapids,
some steep drops, some long wave-trains.

During the trip we stop several times: a 5 meter cliff jump straight into
the current, friendly rapids to float through and a 100m rock gorge we
can swim through. All big fun in crystal clear, warm water between giant,
smooth house-sized rocks…!

If it rains and the river is full (it may rise up to 10m in one night!) - then we would paddle
another part of the river - but we will certainly take you on a great, fun day of rafting
whatever the weather! At the take out our Adventure Jeep shuttles us back to our
JUNGLE LODGE. End of trip.

At the half way point there is a great opportunity to not only raft through Pico
Bonito N.P. but to step right into it. We leave our raft on the side of the river
just where a fresh jungle creek flows into the Cangrejal.

Following that same attractive creek, we hike up (approx 30 min.) to take a shower
under a 10m waterfall, dropping into a crystal clear deep pool. Of course we hang
out there for a while before we hike back down to our raft.

Please bring: Shorts or swimsuit, T-shirt, river-sandals or tennis shoes, sun cream.

Time: 4 hrs.
